Trump Is Not a Fan of His Portrait in Colorado And He’s Letting Everyone Know
Whatever you were doing last night, Donald Trump was busy ranting about a portrait of himself hanging in the Colorado State Capitol.
The painting, created nearly six years ago by artist Sarah Boardman, sits in the Capitol’s Gallery of Presidents alongside Clinton, Bush, and Obama. But according to Trump, it’s so bad that he wants it removed immediately.
Taking to Truth Social, he fumed, “Nobody likes a bad picture or painting of themselves, but the one in Colorado… was purposefully distorted to a level that even I, perhaps, have never seen before.” He also took a jab at the artist, pointing out that she painted Obama too but in his opinion, Obama’s portrait looks great, while his is a disaster. “She must have lost her talent as she got older,” Trump quipped.
He didn’t stop there. Trump claimed that people in Colorado are outraged by the painting and that he’s speaking “on their behalf” to the state’s governor, Jared Polis, demanding the portrait be taken down. He also threw in a dig at Polis, calling him weak on crime.
Of course, as soon as Trump started complaining, the portrait got way more attention. His rant quickly went viral on Truth Social and X (formerly Twitter), with people pointing out that he just made sure everyone saw the painting he hates so much.
